In today’s post I’ll share another ink that I thought might be orangey-peach, but didn’t end up that way. I’m talking about Van Dieman’s Tassie Seasons Salmon (30mL for $17.00). I found this one while I was looking for peachy ink samples this spring and well, I digress. Tassie Salmon is a beautiful red ink…

Ink Review: Montblanc Origin Collection
I can’t say no to Montblanc ink, especially new special edition colors. Montblanc’s newest line is The Origin Collection and was released as a celebration of 100 years of the Meisterstück collection. The boxes are foiled with gold or silver in a design inspired by pen designs from the beginning of the collection. The three…

Ink Review: Sailor Manyo, Anniversary Set
There’s a new release from Sailor Manyo inks – a 5th Anniversary limited edition! I find it hard to believe that nearly five years has passed since I reviewed the first round of Sailor Manyo inks. Since that time, Sailor has added to the Manyo lineup with a second full round and four dual shading…

Ink Review: Wearingeul Anne of Green Gables
I’ve found that bright red inks on the market seem to contain too much of a cool undertone and lean too far towards the blue side of red. Occasionally I can find a red that is bright but ends up look too orange. When I first saw this ink, though, I knew I found a…

Inkmas Day 9: Robert Oster No Fixed Address
Robert Oster No Fixed Address ($26 for a 50ml bottle) is an unusual ink. It was originally created as a charity project. Oster donates to a charity for families in need that provides four meals for each bottle sold. It is a red ink with a blue iridescent shimmer which is truly unexpected. This ink…
Inkmas #2 – Ferris Wheel Press Wondrous Winterberry
Each year I approach Inkmas with a single goal in mind: find the ink to address this year’s holiday cards. While I don’t write messages to each person on my list, I do sit down and hand address each envelope, so each year I try to find the perfect ink for the job. This year…

Inkmas Day 1: Sailor Irori
Long before there was Inkvent, there was Inkmas and we are delighted to dash through your internet with a little splash of holiday inky cheer. I decided to do some quick reviews of some of my favorite inks this year. They aren’t the newest inks or the most popular brands of ink right now but…
